Eid Mubarak!

September 1, 2011 by amreen

Yesterday marked the end of 30 days of fasting.  The month felt long while I was fasting, but now seems like it went by very fast.  I definitely feel a cleanse physically and mentally, and my appetite has shrunk (I'm hoping to keep that going as long as I can...).  Every year, I … [Read more...]

Ramadan Reflections

August 16, 2011 by amreen

It's 5 am and I'm awake.  I just finished my early breakfast before sunrise. I've been having slow-cooked oatmeal to sustain me on these long fasts.  With some brown sugar, raisins and walnuts for protein.  As Ramadan creeps into the summer months (the Muslim calendar goes back 10 … [Read more...]

3 Great Books: Summer Reading Frenzy!

August 7, 2011 by amreen

In July we had a flood in the house, and as a result, our TV was out for several weeks.  Guess what happened? I read. And read and read and read.  I dove into books with a relish and abandon that hasn't been there for a long time.  Around the same time, I discovered reading on my … [Read more...]

Broody Hen Designs: Perfect Gift for Baby!

July 27, 2011 by amreen

Two of my close friends just had new babies, and I wanted to get them something special.  They live in Calgary, so it had to be something easily packable and not too big.  My usual go-to for years, for new babies, has been Baby Gap, which I love.  A new baby to buy for is usually a … [Read more...]

Pancakes and Cowboys

July 9, 2011 by amreen

I can't think of anything comparable in Toronto, where the whole city embraces a festival so wholeheartedly.  In Calgary, the Stampede is present in every child's cowboy hat, in every restaurant menu, and in every bale of hay decorating the street corners. We are here visiting the grandparents, … [Read more...]

Easy Summer Dish: Chick Pea Salad Extraordinaire (Chana Chaat)

July 4, 2011 by amreen

The sun is shining, my kids are home, and I do not want to be in the kitchen more than I have to.  So, the result is a lot more barbeque, and a lot more meals that don't require standing in front of a stove.  Our typical summer meals usually include some barbequed meat (preferable … [Read more...]

Day 1

July 2, 2011 by amreen

Yesterday was the first day of summer holidays. We kicked off the season with a day trip to Centre Island.  It's one of my favourite things to do in Toronto. We did it all: the rides, the wading pool, the beach, the train.  We came home sandy, sunny and satiated. I LOVED having my … [Read more...]

Last Saturday night, I attended the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards!  I was blown away by the enthusiasm with which Toronto embraced India's glittering stars, and by the grand scale of the event.The show was long and could have used some serious editing. That being said, there … [Read more...]
